Favorite Functional Medicine Psychiatry Books

After sharing my favorite books for engaging the right brain last year, I thought I’d now share some for stimulating the left brain. Anyone familiar with functional medicine knows the vast landscape of information—some empowering, some daunting, some helpful, and some even alarming.
